Abstract

We describe a technique for determining the thresholds for the appearance of cores in random structures. We use it to determine (i) the threshold for the appearance of a k-core in a random r-uniform hypergraph for all r, k ≥ 2, r + k 4, and (ii) the threshold for the pure literal rule to find a satisfying assignment for a random instance of r-SAT, r ≥ 3. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
